Wonderful progress, I have two of these to do for the twins but have not really decided what designs to use on them. My daughter quite likes the Humphery's Corner range so I might look at some of those.

I love this and you're making fantastic progress with it. I really wanted to do this afghan for my friend who is expecting in October, but I thought there is too much work in it for me to do in time, without abandoning my other projects. So it's great to see you stitching it.

This really is going great! You must be so pleased with how it's looking.
Well done!!

lovely

I can't believe you are already almost half way done! I think it looks great! As for your dilemma, I think I would just let them know that something is on it's way and wait to show it to them until it's all done. I am sure they will be so happy that you made something!

It's lovely.
I think I would do as kerbear suggests.

I agree with Kerbear and Maggs it will be a nice surpise.

Such a great project and your making good progress (even though you feel it's not quick enough). I agree, I think let them know you're making something but keep it a surprise what exactly until it's finsihed.

Your work is amazing and so neat.

I think I would just tell them you are hand making a gift and it is not yet done but will be very soon. I am sure they will understand.

Update on afghan 50% complete.

Well done Maggs - half way there

This is a wonderful project. Keep with it, I'm sure it will come to be treasured.

What a lovely idea, i'd love to do something like this for my nephew.

It's looking great!!

Fabulous

Looking gorgeous! It's so much more complicated than the one I'm doing, but so beautiful - a keepsake to be truly proud of.

Very inspiring I want to one of these when my sister decides to have a baby!

I love it! What a fantastic gift!

Looks great!

look what i found
